MLK

It's of course Martin Luther King, Jr. day, a perfect time to remind people that the movement still goes on. The battle is not won. And let's remember that civil rights extends to race, creed, gender, and sexual orientation. It's not just where you get to sit on a bus, but where you can go to school, who you can worship, and who you can or can't marry.

In Mississippi, it's asking your local library to let you read America. In Alabama, it's buying a vibrator. In Florida, it's being a gay couple and wanting to adopt a child. Small acts of personal rebellion.
